Implementation Reference
- main.py:252-268 (handler)The main handler function for the 'mobile_launch_app' tool. It is decorated with @mcp.tool(), which likely handles both registration and schema inference from the signature and docstring. The function launches an Android application by package name after verifying device initialization and app installation.
